Site Visit

One of our assistants is currently completing her internship through the Center for Guided Montessori Studies. A requirement of completion includes several site visits from a field consultant over the course of the year. This week, we had the privilege of one such consultant visiting our classroom. Not only was the visit successful for our intern, but the consultant was sure to share with me how lovely our classroom was. She mentioned how, "beautiful and lovely" our school was and how the children were "functioning so well." She further exclaimed, "I can hardly believe you've only been in school for such a short while, the children are doing so well. The tone you have set has definitely come through, and it has been a lovely visit."
What a valuable experience to have another set of eyes to observe the classroom, and receive such positive feedback. Well done, everyone!

Yes, lots of beautiful engagement with the materials! Did you make the continent booklets and colouring the continent map or did you find it somewhere? Do you happen to have a link? As always thank you for sharing your beautiful classroom and work.Sarah
